Comfort Food Made Healthy

We all have favorite comfort foods. The challenging part about many of these foods is that they are high in calories and we typically like to have a large portion of them. The suggestions below will help you decrease the calorie amount so that you can keep enjoying them!

5. Use half of the butter called for when baking. Add a fruit puree such as applesauce to replace it.

6. Add volume with veggies. Spaghetti squash, zucchini, and cauliflower are great vegetables to mix into your favorite comfort foods. Vegetables add more volume without significantly increasing calories. This way you can still enjoy a larger portion!
